3、irectorsAbstractThis specification outlines the requirements for the ultrasonic welding test sample for thermoplastics and its weldingand testing. In order to minimize variations, the geometry for the standard test sample is defined in detailed figures in-cluding tolerances on critical dimensions th

4、at may affect its weldability.This specification can be used for but not be limited to the following investigations:Thermoplastic Ultrasonic Weldability Studies;Thermoplastic Ultrasonic Welding Optimizations; andScientific Studies on the Ultrasonic Welding of Thermoplastics.Data collection of weldin

5、g variables is divided into three levels. Level three data recording requires the highest preci-sion of data collection and, consequently, is the most time intensive. Level two data recording requires moderate datacollection for more practical investigations. Level one data recording is the least st

6、ringent. These three levels are in-cluded in order to recognize the varying levels of precision required within the plastic welding community.AWS G1.2M/G1.2:1999 (R2010)iiInternational Standard Book Number: 0-87171-585-6American Welding Society550 N.W.

10、ericanWelding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of theAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, ormade part of, documents that are included in federal or state law

11、s and regulations, or the regulations of other govern-mental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWSstandards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part ofthose laws and

12、 regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other documentthat invokes the AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirementsof an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.AW

13、S American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that bringstogether volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While the AWS administers theprocess and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consens

Downforce (pressure) can cause injury.(2) Be sure that no one is in direct contact with thehorn when the ultrasonic energy is activated. Ultrasonicvibrations can cause injury.(3) To

45、 prevent the possibility of an electrical shockand personal injury, always plug the power supply into agrounded plug source.(4) To prevent the possibility of an electric shock andpersonal injury, be sure the power supply is in the OFFposition before making any electrical connections.(5) To prevent t

46、he possibility of an electric shock andpersonal injury, be sure the unit is unplugged before re-moving the power supply and/or actuator cover.(6) To prevent the possibility of an electric shock andpersonal injury, do not operate the unit with the cover re-moved. High voltage is present in the power

47、supply.(7) To prevent the possibility of an electric shock andpersonal injury, do not press the TEST switch on thepower supply if either the RF cable or the converter isdisconnected.(8) Some plastic parts may vibrate within the audiblefrequency range when welded.
